Star Wars 7x7: A Daily Bite-Sized Dose of Star Wars Joy

In a way, it's like comparing apples and oranges. But in another way, both had an enormous impact on pop culture of the time. And even that was different. Star Wars may have kept all the glory for itself, but the Blade Runner aesthetic has become equally as pervasive - just underneath other guises. Punch it!

For your Friday enjoyment, an extended conversation about The Last Jedi trailer courtesy of an interview I got to do for Viewpoints, a syndication radio show from north of the border (that would be Canada, folks). Plus, what's the scoop on the new photo Laura Dern shared from The Last Jedi on The Ellen Show? Punch it!

The first half of "Heroes of Mandalore" - the premiere of the fourth and final season of Star Wars Rebels - made you think the creators were will to shake everything up. The second half pretty well put that idea to bed. If they're going to play it safe, then it's time to rethink what the endgame of the Rebels series will be. Punch it!

That sense of danger and uncertainty I had about the final season of Star Wars Rebels? It's pretty well gone thanks to the events of Part 2 of "Heroes of Mandalore," which for official purposes is Episode 2 of Season 4 of the Star Wars TV series. Punch it!

What a lovely way to wrap up principal photography on the previously untitled young Han Solo movie! Ron Howard makes it official - the title of the film is "Solo: A Star Wars Story." Punch it!

Remember how I've been saying that the Star Wars Rebels creative team isn't taking any prisoners with season 4, based on the first episode they showed back in April at Star Wars Celebration Orlando? Well, if you weren't at SWCO to see it, now you finally can. "Heroes of Mandalore" debuted on Disney XD last night, and I've got the recap of Part 1 right here for you. Punch it!

More dialogue? More scenes? More background information? Just because the trailer dropped last week, that doesn't mean you won't be hearing anything new from Lucasfilm about The Last Jedi between now and December 15. Punch it!

Thanks to a new IMAX display for The Lsat Jedi, folks are stirring up trouble in fandomland. Why? Because Luke is pictured on both sides of the display, one dedicated to the Light Side characters, and the other dedicated to the Dark Side characters. But what does it MEAN? That, and a the meat of a recent Andy Serkis interview, on today's podcast. Punch it!

Well, The Last Jedi has been getting all the headlines recently, but quietly in the house, I can hear little squeaks of information from beyond the walls of my imagination. Information about the as-yet-untitled Han Solo movie, as well as the script in progress of Episode IX. Punch it!

It's funny - Rian Johnson at first said he didn't want us to watch The Last Jedi trailer, and then he was all, "Watch it watch it watch it!" I'm beginning to wonder what kinds of mind games he might be playing with us. And this trailer certainly seems to have its share of mind games - or what Saw Gerrera might refer to as "Lies! Deceptions!" Here are the three biggest ones. Punch it!
